Two Program Manager roles are available across two major NZIIP initiatives which are outlined below:
Low Carbon and Renewable Manufacturing – 1 x manager role available
The NSW Government has committed $480 million to boost domestic Net Zero manufacturing of low-carbon products and components for renewable energy. This initiative invests alongside industry to increase manufacturing capacity for commercially ready technologies such as new facilities, production lines and equipment. This will allow NSW to take advantage of the transition to a low-carbon and renewable energy future by securing new jobs and the economic opportunities for producing local goods and services.
High Emitting Industries – 1 x manager role available
Did you know that fifty-five industrial facilities in the manufacturing and mining sectors contribute approximately 30% of emissions in NSW? These high-emitting industries have a critical role to play in helping NSW shift to a low-carbon economy.? The $380 million High Emitting Industries (HEI) initiative partners with hard-to-abate industries to fund projects that directly reduce industrial emissions and strengthen our industrial resilience into the future. Details of the fund can be found here Net Zero Industry and Innovation Investment Plan 2022-2024.
